From 100 Followers to Real Success: The Journey Begins
Written on
Chapter 1: Celebrating the Milestone
Hello, 100 Followers Squad! We’ve crossed a significant threshold together.
Reaching this milestone is not just an achievement; it’s a pivotal moment recognized by everyone on Medium. This accomplishment allows you to participate in the partner program, paving the way for potential earnings. Who wouldn’t want that?
Now you’re officially in the game—welcome to the major leagues!
Achieving 100 followers demonstrates your commitment, regardless of the challenges faced. It required persistence and consistency to reach this point. You didn’t give up, so hats off to you!
This moment feels akin to receiving an acceptance letter for a job. You’ve met the initial qualifications, and now it’s time to showcase your talents.
The initial 100 followers served as your training ground, but now it’s time for the real performance. This is your opportunity to begin monetizing your writing.
However, let’s not lose sight of why you began writing here in the first place. Ideally, it was because you have a genuine passion for writing. If not, this article may not resonate with you.
Keep nurturing your love for writing, pursue your set objectives, and embrace the joy of creativity and expression. These positive motivations should have brought you here initially.
If these reasons don’t resonate with you, it might be a sign that this path isn’t for you.
Writers need to maintain consistency, build resilience, and develop a strong work ethic, whether you're aiming to earn a little extra income or planning to write full-time.
It’s about showing up daily, working through self-doubt, and managing life’s distractions.
These challenges are part of the journey to becoming a successful writer.
The first 100 followers lay the groundwork for credibility. Now, harness that momentum to propel yourself forward. Use it as a source of confidence and motivation to continue expanding your network and platform.
Depending on your aspirations, I encourage you to explore writing opportunities across different platforms. You’ve begun to establish a foundation here—there’s no reason you can’t replicate that success elsewhere!
Don’t limit your potential.
Consider republishing your work on other platforms or blogs. The more exposure you gain, the greater your audience will be.
Broaden your horizons. Keep evolving. Embrace failures as learning opportunities. Keep building.
If you're like me, you may be eager to secure real clients for freelance work, which presents significant opportunities beyond Medium.
I've gained invaluable insights here over the past couple of months and plan to maintain my consistency. However, until I reach 10,000 followers, I believe there are more lucrative writing opportunities available elsewhere.
And so, the real work commences. We are truly in the game now. Best wishes to all the emerging writers who have just joined the 100 Followers Squad! We can do this!
